The meal comes hot off the galley while you float in the Aegean.

A five-hour catamaran cruise from Mykonos with morning or sunset departure, hotel pickup included, takes you past the archaeological site of Delos and to Rhenia island for swimming and snorkeling in a protected cove. The boat carries snorkeling gear, serves a fresh seafood and meat meal on board, and returns you to your hotel at the end of the day.

The Experience

You start the morning or afternoon at your hotel, where an air-conditioned minivan collects you and drives to Mykonos new port. Once aboard the modern catamaran, you settle in as the skipper and crew cast off. The boat sails north past the small island of Baos, then approaches the archaeological site of Delos—you photograph the ancient ruins from the water while the hostess explains the island's history. The route then heads to Rhenia, a nearby island with a small cove of turquoise water where the catamaran drops anchor for two hours of swimming and snorkeling. Snorkeling equipment (masks and snorkels) is included, and the crew serves a fresh meal of seafood pasta and meat options while you're still in the water or resting on deck.

On the return sail to port, the catamaran passes the famous Little Venice waterfront and Mykonos windmills for photos of the town. If you've chosen the sunset cruise, you watch the light change across the Aegean and photograph the golden hour before docking. Throughout the day, unlimited homemade rosé wine and soft drinks are available. The itinerary can shift if wind and sea conditions demand it—in rough weather, the captain may sail the protected south coast of Mykonos and its beaches instead. A minivan returns you to your hotel at the end.

The cruise operates as either a semi-private group or a private charter depending on which option you select at checkout. Private cruises run from four to nine passengers; semi-private morning and sunset cruises carry a larger shared group. Some private options include a drop-off at Delos island itself, which you can add at checkout. Bring your own beach towel; everything else—snorkeling gear, meals, drinks, transport—is arranged.

Is this one for you?Book a private charter if your group is four to nine people and you want the boat and timing to yourselves; choose a semi-private morning or sunset cruise if you're traveling solo or as a couple and prefer to share the cost with other travelers. Some private options let you add a drop-off at Delos island itself instead of photographing it from the water—decide that at checkout based on how much time you want to spend on the archaeological site.
